Problem with FTDI on OSX 10.9

Post by tuf »

I'm having issues trying to get the HXC software to recognize the FTDI driver. I've installed and re-installed it 10 times, and I can see the HCX USB card using the FTDI example programs, like "EEPROM/read" so I feel like I have the libraries installed correctly:

$ ./read
Library version = 0x10404
Opening port 0
FT_Open succeeded. Handle is 0x7fba74006000
FT_GetDeviceInfo succeeded. Device is type 5.
FT_EE_Read succeeded.

Signature1 = 0
Signature2 = -1
Version = 2
VendorId = 0x0403
ProductId = 0x6001
Manufacturer = FTDI
ManufacturerId = A6
Description = FT245R USB FIFO
SerialNumber = A6035IIS
MaxPower = 90
PnP = 0
SelfPowered = 0
RemoteWakeup = 1
232R:
-----
UseExtOsc = 0x0
HighDriveIOs = 0x0
EndpointSize = 0x40
PullDownEnableR = 0x0
SerNumEnableR = 0x1
InvertTXD = 0x0
InvertRXD = 0x0
InvertRTS = 0x0
InvertCTS = 0x0
InvertDTR = 0x0
InvertDSR = 0x0
InvertDCD = 0x0
InvertRI = 0x0
Cbus0 = 0x3
Cbus1 = 0x2
Cbus2 = 0x0
Cbus3 = 0x1
Cbus4 = 0x5
RIsD2XX = 0x0
Returning 0


However, when I start up the HXC software I get a DLL error. Here's what my /usr/local dirs looks like and the status of the Apple driver:

$ ls -lrt /usr/local/lib

-rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 51808 Apr 6 2011 IKStealthPedalAPI.dylib

$ sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
Password:
(kernel) Kext com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI not found for unload request.
Failed to unload com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI - (libkern/kext) not found.


And when I try to start the emulator, I get the following:

$ ./hxcfe -verbose -usb:

Any suggestions?
